That combination is unusual: most exhausts that take away this much weight also take away the quiet, and this one keeps a static reading of 93 dB where the factory part reads 88.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.6 kg where Kawasaki's own silencer weighs 4.4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarbon fibre outer sleeve and end cap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e93 dB against a standard 88, measured at 5,250 rpm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemovable noise insert supplied\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e33.1 PS, with the torque gain read low at 6,050 rpm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo type approval — closed circuits only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSixty-Three Per Cent\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKawasaki fits a 4.4 kg silencer to a motorcycle that weighs about 172 kg ready to ride. That is a big steel can with the converter feeding it, and it hangs on the right-hand side well behind the rear axle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe carbon replacement weighs 1.6. Losing 2.8 kg from that position on a small, light machine is felt in a way the same saving on a superbike would not be — there is simply less motorcycle for it to disappear into.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Approval Is the Catch\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is none. Akrapovic states that this product does not meet emission compliance requirements for street or highway use, and a Ninja 300 with it fitted is a track motorcycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat matters more here than on most bikes in this catalogue. The Ninja 300 and Z300 are A2 machines, often a first motorcycle, often ridden to work — and the owner who fits this on the road is risking exactly the licence they have just earned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy It Is Still Quiet\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFive decibels is a modest step, and the reason is that this is a slip-on: Kawasaki's headers and catalytic converter both stay on the motorcycle. Only the silencer changes, so only part of the sound path changes with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA removable insert comes with it as well, for circuits that measure static noise at the gate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Power Figures Are Honest and Small\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e32.7 PS to 33.1, and 24.2 Nm to 24.4. Four tenths of a horsepower on a 296 cc twin is nothing anyone will feel, and there is no point dressing it up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat is worth noting is where the torque gain sits: 6,050 rpm, low for a small twin, which is the part of the range a rider uses leaving a corner rather than chasing a lap time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThree Names, One Silencer\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ninja 300, the earlier Ninja 250 and the naked Z300 share a chassis and an exhaust route. One part covers them from 2013 to 2016, after which Kawasaki replaced the platform with the Ninja 400 and Z400.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Bike People Keep\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are cheap, reliable, endlessly serviceable motorcycles, and a great many of them are now second or third owner track bikes and club racers.
